Trump just cut his deficit to 3 points in a Fox News survey that capped a wildly erratic day in the polls

Donald Trump received a round of good polling news on Wednesday,
as a
Fox News poll showed the Republican presidential nominee
trailing Democrat Hillary Clinton among likely voters by just 3
percentage points.

The survey capped a day of wild fluctuations in national polls,
as another snapshot of the race found Clinton with a
double-digit lead among likely voters.

Fox News polls from earlier this month showed Clinton with 7- and
6-point leads, suggesting Trump is narrowing the deficit in the
final weeks before Election Day. The latest poll was the first
conducted by Fox News since the third presidential debate last
week.

Clinton's lead in the poll rose slightly to 5 points in a
head-to-head race against Trump without third-party candidates.

The poll also suggests a surge in support for Trump among
independents — he held a 14-point lead among that demographic, up
from 7 points last week. Trump and Clinton were tied in the
category two weeks ago, according to Fox News.
